This five-week series of progressive clinic sessions are followed by daily games. The objective is for the player to develop fundamentally sound baseball skills and concepts and apply them into game situations. All players will benefit from their experience as a participant in the clinic. Additionally, the player will gain knowledge and confidence, while improving their skill development.

Our goal at the Manhasset PAL Summer Baseball Clinic is for the player to have fun in a "no pressure" atmosphere. We teach baseball as a piece of the big picture, as we try to help the player learn and love the game. Each day new teams are formed. This eliminates "very competitive" and lopsided contests. Every player has their "fair share" to bat and play the positions of their choice.

The Manhasset PAL Baseball Summer Clinic is an excellent vehicle to help build baseball skills as well as self-esteem, decision-making, empathy, goal setting, time management, teamwork and sportsmanship.

Come on the days you can make it! $125 ($75 for T-Ball), it's a major bargain. Join now, but come when there's no camp, no vacation, no beach. Last year, there were many days when at least two varsity-level head coaches were participating.
